Fort Myers or Ft. Myers, is the county seat and commercial center of Lee County, Florida, United States. It has grown rapidly in recent years. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 62,298 and in 2016 was estimated at 77,146.
Fort Myers is a gateway to the Southwest Florida region and a major tourist destination within Florida. The winter estates of Thomas Edison ("Seminole Lodge") and Henry Ford ("The Mangoes") are major attractions. The city is named after Colonel Abraham Myers.

Having lived there for 55 years, I had to relocate to a better place in Florida. I experienced a sleepy little burg become a metropolis. With growth, a lot of rapid growth, comes corruption, a rise in crime, drugs, and an overall feeling of no longer being safe. I loved growing up there. Everyone knew everyone. It had a real sense of community at one time and we all looked out for one another. That no longer exists there. You’re lucky if you know your neighbors. The traffic is horrible. It was taking me an hour to drive 13 miles to work. Lee County can’t seem to keep up with its growth. Health care is mediocre. But there is only one large healthcare system there. It no longer felt like home, a safe haven. The decision to move was a sad one, but it’s just getting worse there & the growth is still going strong.
